I visited Takabru while in Puerto Rico on vacation a couple weeks ago. It's an interesting, or at least unique, place. It's just a tap wall in a grocery store, but the whole brewing operation is there; the brewhouse is visible through windows beside the wall and there were people working back there when I visited. There is an area for seating shared by the "taproom" and the store's food court.
When I visited, they had 7 of their beers on tap plus 4 guest beers. They have a couple IPAs, a Pilsner, a lager, a blonde, a plain wheat and a blueberry lavender wheat. The IPA is okay, but the grapefruit IPA is quite good. I would drink plenty of this. The blueberry lavender wheat is ... as advertised. Not too bad, if that is what you're looking for. The Pilsner is strangely fruity, not really to style, but by itself not too bad. The blonde ale is a little sweet and a bit plain, but really not a bad execution of the style.
Not really sure what to say about the "service" of the place, as it is a pour-it-yourself tap wall with no actual staff present. Overall it was an interesting experience, though it definitely lacked that "brewery" feel.
